RoyalRoseBlue's journey

I hate friends like that. Since she can invite you because the place is cheaper, she just shouldn't have said anything at all. If it would have come down to not being invited, she could have explained it when she knew for sure she couldn't. I only invited one friend to my wedding because she was my witness and she's the only friend I've had since school. All the others, I met later, and only family was there. Immediate family, no aunts or uncles or cousins. Just dinner, no reception, so not a big affair. But it was a different situation being my second wedding and my friends understood because I explained it to them and wasn't doing it to be rude. Your friend could have definitely explained it better, like because of the expence, was it going to be just family? Or what was her reasoning? Oh well, and ARG, sometimes though, friends can be a ton of trouble. If it came down to friends or extended family I see once every other year, I'd so pick inviting my friends. Besides, friends are just people we should have had as family, or as a friend of mine likes to say "Friends are Gods way of apologizing for family". Have to have friends at those big events!

I hope you're able to make it to the gym at the firestation tonight. Have a good evening!

You are absolutely right. I think that she doesn't think before she opens her mouth or in this case just starts typing away. I keep telling DBf that it's a show to her. It's to try to make me jealous because she's engaged before me and she's getting married before. And what it's really doing is pissing me off and wanting me to not be her friend anymore.

Anywho, I was really good last night. I went to the firehouse and had a really good workout. I walked on the treadmill for a mile and I got up to the point of where I was almost jogging which I haven't been able to do in awhile. Once I got done, DBf got on and he only did about a half mile. chicken. I worked on the weights for a bit, but I don't feel much of a results tonight. My boss from my 2nd job came me a stepper and the tapes to go with it, so I might be doing that night if it rains and then maybe some Billy. I felt great after working with him. HaHa.

When we got home from the firehouse, I drove around our walking pattern to see how far it is and it turned out to be 1.7 miles. Then I checked another walking pattern that we are thinking about doing and it turned out to be almost 2.5 miles. If it's nice tomorrow night, maybe I can convince DBf to walk it. After we checked the distances, we went home, and I was a good girl. Instead of having some of my brother's cake, I had a apple with some peanut butter. DBf had a big peice and I'm like, how can you eat like that and not gain any weight! Argh!!!

Just got back from the grocery store and got some more lean cusines and healthy choice lunches. I did really well with them the past couple of weeks, and since there's no lettuce left at my house, I figured I can just keep those lunches here.
 
For tracking walking, I like using mapmyrun.com. No www in front of that. It's a nice site and accurate.

You're doing great on the working out! I hope you enjoy your new stepper. I have one, but don't have any video's for it. It would be nice to have some though! I'll have to look into that.
 
Last night for dinner we had ham. I'm not big on ham, but I had a good size portion and only a little bit of macaroni and cheese. We didnt' have any salad left and my mom and I weren't going to the food store until after dinner, so I had a carb blocker pill to help. Don't know if they really work, but they must be if I've been loosing weight. So, the boys left for the firehouse and my and I hit the food store. Of course I spent the most time in the fresh fruit and veggie section. We got some bananas, strawberries, granny smiths, pears, & some raw almonds. I love raw almonds. We got some salad as well. I saw in a magazine that they have out little 100 carolie ice cream dishes, but I don't think my store carries them yet. So, I got the little skinny cow cartwheel sandwiches and they are 140. Better than 1/3 cup of ice cream that has like 300 calories in it. After that, we ran to Fashion Bug (forgeting we had the ice cream in the car) so my mom could get an outfit for a party we are going to. We weren't that long in the store anyway especially because I didn't buy anything. I don't want to keep buying clothes when I'm going to be loosing more weight. So when we got home, we but the groceries away and my mom and I took a walk since the boys were still at the firehouse. We didn't walk my full 1.7 miles that I usally walk with DBf 'cause my decided to take a short cut. I think she was just too busy looking at everyones houses to see how they are landscaped and stuff. When we got home, I had one of my little skinny cows and a couple of almonds, since I know by the time I get home today they will all be gone. For some reason, my brothers like to eat myself and leave me the crap food. Time to take a stand. Well, I'm off to look for more bridesmaids dresses. I can't wait to see my self in them. Skinny!
 
I had the most amazing workout last night. I made a new cd to workout too and it's really upbeat and fun. Instead of putting it on our big stero, I had my walkman and just kept walking to the beat. I walked most of it close to a jog, and I was sweating soo bad, so I knew I was working hard! Then after my workout I sat at our bar with the guys and had a water and some peanut butter crackers. Well, my one bottle of water turned into two bottles of water and it ended up totally a 2 liters of water. I had to the go to the bathroom all night. I must have been really hydrated because it came out clear. (Not to be gross).

While I was sitting at the bar, the motley crew came in from an EMS meeting and only the guy friend came up and said hi. One Upper and guy's girlfriend just sat at the table and didn't say anything. What, are you too good to come up and say hi. I feel like maybe they don't like me anymore because I'd rather be working out than driving around south Jersey looking for chocolate cake. (I've probably said that a million times already, but that's when I started noticing the change). And now that they are joining EMS, they are acting like they are above me. I'm sorry, I'm just not that kind of person and I can't deal with blood and stuff. Now DBf wants to join. I really hope he's not doing it to show them up or I'll be really disapointed in him.

Okay, so tomorrow's my weight in my club challenge and I'm a little scared because I snuck on the scale today and I was the same as last week. Eeek! I hope that I lost fat and gained some muscle because I'd hate to hit a platue so early in the game!

Well, the engaged friend told me the other day, that she's proud of me and my weight loss and she's kind of jealous that I have so much dedication to it and that she decided she was going to try again. Well, I've been posting blogs elsewhere and now she's posting the same kind of blogs like "Go me" and stuff like that. Blah, whatever. I'm proud of her, but stop acting like me.
 
I need an upbeat CD to listen to while running. And a walkman, but I'm too cheap. My time went down this time... probably could have kept it higher had I been running with some distraction.

It's too bad that the rest didn't say hi. They may just be jealous because you are dedicated and sticking to this. It's hard and not everyone has it in them to make this type of change in their life. Eventually, they'll get over their insecurities.

Check your inches! I stayed the same for nearly three weeks but continuously was loosing inches. Weight on the scale is not the only indicator that you're doing well. So is feeling better, sleeping better, having more energy... the list could go on :). You're doing great.
 
I definetely feel the increase in energy and the clothes fitting looser!!! Today pretty good I guess. One of our clients brought in treats, so I might have a little tiny piece just to try it. And I told myself if I do, I have to do 10-20 extra crunches tonight. I think that's a pretty good deal! Well, I've got some other stuff to do online, so this is going to be a quicky today. I probably won't be back until Monday!
 
So, I didn't have the best weekend food wise, but I did okay for having another party to go to and then being sick all night Saturday night. I didn't get much sleep and I was pretty groggy all day yesterday, so I didn't exercise at all. I'm hitting the gym tonight though. I really need a good workout. Hopefully it will left my spirit.

I went a little overboard on Friday and went out and bought an iPod. I only got the litten nano one. I was going to get the shuffle, but that sucker was way too small and I would have lost it. I decided that I should invest in one since I made so many cd's and this will take up a lot less space. Plus, I'm getting quicker on the treadmill and I'm close to jogging, and I hate that cds skip. It's also a pain to listen to the same 20 songs over and over again, then when you want to change a cd it's annoying. So Saturday I went ebaying and got some speakers for work, an arm band, so I don't drop it during the workout, and a car charger, so i don't have to hook it up to my computer to charge it. My next thing I would like to get is one of the FM transmitters. I know my dad has one somewhere, but I doubt the plugs will fit.
 
Hi Royal. I've noticed I haven't seen you for a bit. I hope everything is still going well for you.

Stop in soon :).
